We cling to the memories Val. They contain the essence, not of what we were, but the essence of what made us what we are. Sometimes they may overwhelm us in nostalgia, but we must regret nothing. The days of splendour, the times of laughter, these will sustain us no matter how dark the present may be. This is a beautiful poem, heartfelt, written with deep emotion and definitely one to keep.

Love was young and life eternal
Rich the wine from ag’ed vines
Fresh the wind and sweet the honey
Warm the sun that ever shines.
Beautiful lines. It is the fond memories that makes life worth living. Thank you.
